Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Admits Disappointment in Andy Reid’s Decision During Loss to Cardinals<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off their preseason with a 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. While there was some disappointment brought about by the team\u2019s defeat in its first outing, there was a lot to smile about for Chiefs fans now that the preseason is finally underway.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, supporters who were hoping to see Patrick Mahomes make his mark on the game were left rather frustrated after the two-time All-Pro quarterback was pulled out of the contest by head coach Andy Reid after just three plays.<\/p>\n

Reid was taking no risks with Mahomes in this one as the six-time Pro Bowler finished with one completed pass, one passing yard and one touchdown in his brief cameo.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NFL reporter Kay Adams on Monday, Mahomes admitted to feeling some disappointment in Reid\u2019s decision to hold him out of Saturday\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n

“It was definitely a little bit of a bummer,” Mahomes said. “You want to get out there and get a couple of snaps in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always say, you want to kind of get hit just to kind of feel like you’ve been a quarterback. Not hit hard but just enough that you feel we’re not in a yellow jersey anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mahomes\u2019 next chance to make a more significant impact would be on Friday as the Chiefs travel to Lumen Field to battle the Seattle Seahawks in their last road game of the preseason.<\/p>\n

There is no guarantee that Reid will let Mahomes loose against the Seahawks, but the three-time Super Bowl-winning QB should get more run in the Chiefs\u2019 second preseason matchup.<\/p>\n
